Today there are new concerns that housing research seeks to anticipate: the relationship between housing and health, the definition of methodologies for assessing risks to occupants and the guarantee of indoor air quality, among other areas that increasingly require a transdisciplinary approach. Today’s urban centers are made up of many current buildings that reveal constructive trends from various eras, the expression of aesthetic and cultural movements, economic and administrative policies, the evolution of empirical and scientific knowledge, the availability of local materials and geographical specifics, territorial and climatic. This implies a rehabilitation of buildings and urban centers with a clear commitment to respect for history, constructive tradition and heritage passed on to us by previous generations. A more promising and sustainable future requires it.

This paper aims to fill a gap between textbooks and papers on data collection methods. Many undergraduate study programs include modules on data collection methods. They provide students with systematic insight into data collection methods. However, a few years later, when students want to apply this training in their research, they may have forgotten unapplied parts! Because researchers might not devote themselves to adequate re-study of data collection textbooks, they sometimes choose a data collection method without a systematic view of other methods and the wider framework of data collection. Researchers might devote their available time to selective study about applying their chosen data collection method, but a loss of overall methodological insight might have negative implications for the research. The present paper aims to help with this problem. It provides a researcher companion of data collection and validation methods in a systematic textbook style but within a concise paper with essential details and examples. The paper can be used by researchers of different disciplines as a standalone methodological guide or a legend for informed searching of more detail in relevant references.

Special economic zone (SEZ) is one of the economic policies of Government of Indonesia (GoI) to boost economic growth of country. One of the economic sectors which is put as platform of SEZ is the coastal and marine tourism. This paper aims to assess the sustainability of Coastal Tourism SEZ with the case of Tanjung Lesung Coastal Area. We modify Casagrandi-Rinaldi-Lacitignola (CRL Model) by incorporating community model as importance factors as well as tourists, capital, and environmental models. The results show that by incorporating community in the development scenario will increase the sustainability of tourism in the Tanjung Lesung SEZ where income, environmental factors and attractiveness of the tourism are increasing during the simulation period.

Special economic zones (SEZs) are significant in South Italy and the Campania Region as a result of their capacity to promote industrialization, draw in foreign investment and accelerate economic globalization. To assess the effectiveness of land use in Campania’s SEZs, this study examined the connections between land use, the transportation network and accessibility. SEZs require a lot of spaces, and land use in SEZs in Campania is always expanding. The accessibility indicator, which is associated with the adaptability of investments, activities and linkages, can be helpful to assess land use and potentiality. This study suggests examining the components of SEZ areas (residential, commercial and industrial) as well as an accessibility-based land use analysis between poles and nodes to provide a clustering between areas potential and where SEZs can improve.

In order to increase energy security in the face of rising energy demand and declining funding for fossil fuels, energy supply must be diversified and a shift to renewable energy must occur. Sustainable energy supply management aims to achieve a low-carbon intensity of production, particularly in energy-intensive industries such as mechanical engineering. The article investigates the possibility of transitioning the current mechanical-engineering enterprise system, as well as the technical, environmental and economic indicators of production, to the new concept of the “green economy”, which will serve as an alternative to the industry’s continued sustainable development. This article examines key energy-saving strategies. An observational 40-point model for calculating the energy risk of the mechanical-engineering enterprise has been developed, as has a sequence diagram of production and technology that takes into account the impact on the environment and the possibility of energy industrialization. This allows the setting of strategic objectives to ensure the sustainable development of energy production in the mechanical-engineering industry and developing the main principles of efficient enterprise activity. It has been demonstrated that one of the criteria for increasing the profitability indicator is the adaptability of enterprises to external conditions and the expansion of alternative energy sources from our own various information sources.
